Description

Catalyst component for olefin polymerization
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of chemistry. In particular, the present invention relates to catalyst components for the polymerization of olefins, characterized by specific chemical and physical properties. The disclosed catalysts are particularly useful for preparing porous propylene polymers.
Background
The most important class of propylene polymers consists of so-called heterophasic copolymer compositions made of a relatively high crystallinity propylene polymer fraction and a low crystallinity elastomeric component (e.g. propylene-ethylene copolymer).
While these compositions may be prepared by mechanical blending of the two major components, they are more typically prepared via sequential polymerization techniques wherein a relatively high crystalline propylene polymer (sometimes referred to as a crystalline matrix) is prepared in a first polymerization reactor and then transferred to a continuous polymerization reactor where a low crystallinity elastomeric component is formed.
In this type of process, the porosity of the relatively high crystallinity polymer matrix can affect the incorporation of the elastomeric portion into the crystalline matrix.
In fact, as a general rule, the higher the porosity of the polymer matrix prepared in the first step, the higher the amount of elastomer component that can be incorporated in said matrix in the second polymerization step.
On the other hand, if the matrix has a poor porosity, the presence of excess elastomeric polymer portions on the surface of the particles increases the tackiness of said particles considerably, which causes aggregation phenomena that may cause the reactor to be on the underside, such as reactor wall sheeting, plugging or even clogging.
Macroscopic measurements of polymer porosity are given by polymer bulk density. Bulk density or apparent density is the mass per unit volume of a material, including voids inherent in the material of interest. In the case of polymer particles having a regular morphology, a relatively low bulk density value indicates a relatively high porosity of the polymer powder. Thus, for at least some applications, it is desirable to produce propylene polymers having both higher porosity (lower bulk density) and high crystallinity in the first polymerization step.
One option for producing crystalline polymers having a certain level of porosity is to polymerize propylene with a catalyst already having a certain level of porosity.
Such catalysts can be obtained starting from adducts of formula MgCl 2·mEtOH·nH2 O, where m is between 1 and 6 and n is between 0.01 and 0.6, from which a certain amount of alcohol is removed, thus yielding a porous precursor, which is then converted into the catalyst component by reaction with a titanium compound containing at least one Ti-Cl bond, as disclosed in EP 395083.
As a disadvantage, an increase in the catalyst porosity can lead to a corresponding decrease in the catalyst performance in terms of polymerization activity.
In WO2004/026920, it is proposed to prepare adducts with increased amounts of alcohols and featuring specific X-ray diffraction spectra. These adducts, once converted to catalyst components containing phthalates as internal donors, are able to produce catalysts with increased activity or, if the adducts are partially dealcoholated before reacting with Ti compounds, have a higher porosity with respect to those produced from adducts with the same amount of alcohol directly obtained in the preparation and not dealcoholated. Nevertheless, there remains a need for catalysts capable of producing crystalline polypropylene with still increased porosity.
The applicant has now found a catalyst component capable of producing propylene polymers having simultaneously low bulk density, high porosity and high crystallinity.

The catalyst component of the precursor of the present disclosure having the above-described characteristics can be obtained according to several methods. According to a preferred one, an adduct between magnesium chloride and an alcohol (in particular ethanol) containing 3.5 to 4.5 moles of alcohol per mole of Mg is prepared.
The adducts may be prepared by contacting MgCl 2 with an alcohol in the absence of an inert liquid dispersant, heating the system at or above the melting temperature of MgCl 2 -alcohol adduct, and maintaining the conditions to obtain a fully molten adduct. In particular, the adduct is preferably maintained under stirring conditions at a temperature equal to or higher than its melting temperature for a period of time equal to or greater than 1 hour, preferably from 2 to 15 hours, more preferably from 5 to 10 hours. The molten adduct is then emulsified in a liquid medium which is immiscible with and chemically inert to it and finally quenched by contacting the adduct with an inert cooling liquid, thereby obtaining solidification of the adduct. It is also preferred that the solid particles are left in the cooling liquid at a temperature of-10 to 25 ℃ for a time of 1 to 24 hours before they are recovered. In particular, in this process, the solidification of the adducts in spherical particles can be obtained by spraying the non-emulsified MgCl 2 -alcohol adducts in an environment having a temperature as low as to cause rapid solidification of the particles.
In a variant of this process, particles of MgCl 2 may be dispersed in an inert liquid that is immiscible with and chemically inert to the molten adduct, the system heated at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting temperature of the MgCl 2 -ethanol adduct, and then the desired amount of alcohol added in the gas phase. The temperature is maintained at a value such that the adduct is completely melted for a period of time ranging from 10 minutes to 10 hours. The molten adduct is then treated as described above. The liquid in which MgCl 2 or emulsified adducts are dispersed may be any liquid that is not miscible with and chemically inert to the molten adducts. For example, aliphatic, aromatic or alicyclic hydrocarbons and silicone oils may be used. Aliphatic hydrocarbons such as vaseline oil are particularly preferred.
The quench liquid is preferably selected from hydrocarbons that are liquid at temperatures in the range of-30 to 30 ℃. Among them, pentane, hexane, heptane or a mixture thereof is preferred.
In another variant, the molten adduct obtained is solidified into discrete particles by using spray cooling techniques, wherein the solidification takes place immediately by spraying the solution through a nozzle in a cold environment.
The solid adducts thus obtained are made from dense particles with low mercury porosity, which may be in the range of 0.05 to 0.12cm 3/g.
Mercury porosity may be increased by a dealcoholation step carried out according to known methods, such as those described in EP-a-395083, wherein dealcoholation is obtained by maintaining the adduct particles in an open circulating fluidized bed created by a flow of hot nitrogen, which is directed out of the system after removal of the alcohol from the adduct particles. In this open-loop treatment, dealcoholization is carried out under an elevated temperature gradient until the particles have reached the desired alcohol content, which in any case is at least 10% lower than the initial amount.
The partially dealcoholated adducts thus obtained may exhibit a porosity of-0.15 to 1.5cm 3/g, depending on the degree of alcohol removed.
The particles collected at the end of the treatment form are then reacted with a titanium compound and glutarate to form the final solid catalyst component. Particularly preferred titanium compounds are those of the formula Ti (OR a)nXy-n, where n is comprised between 0 and y; y is the valence of titanium; X is chlorine and R a is a hydrocarbon radical, preferably an alkyl radical, having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms OR a group COR a.

Preferred specific titanium compounds are TiCl3、TiCl4、Ti(OBu)4、Ti(OBu)Cl3、Ti(OBu)2Cl2、Ti(OBu)3Cl. are preferably reacted by suspending the adduct in cold TiCl 4 (usually 0 ℃ OR less; the mixture thus obtained is then heated to 80-130 ℃ and held at this temperature for 0.5-2 hours. After removal of excess TiCl 4 and recovery of the solid component. Treatment with TiCl 4 may be carried out one OR more times.
The solid catalyst component described in the present application may contain Ti atoms in an amount of more than 0.5wt%, more preferably more than 1.0wt%, particularly more than 1.5wt% relative to the total weight of the catalyst component. The amount of titanium is particularly preferably from 1.50 to 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the catalyst component.

Preferred compounds are oxides, carbonates, alkoxides, carboxylates and halides of the metals. Among them, znO, znCl 2、CuO、CuCl2 and copper diacetate, biCl 3, bismuth carbonate and bismuth carboxylate are preferable.
The compounds may be added during the preparation of the magnesium-alcohol adducts described previously, or they may be introduced into the catalyst by dispersing them into the titanium compound in liquid form and then reacting with the adducts.
Whichever method is used, the final amount of metal into the final catalyst component is from 0.1 to 10wt%, preferably from 0.3 to 8wt% and most preferably from 0.5 to 5wt%, relative to the total weight of the solid catalyst component.
An electron donor compound (glutarate as internal donor) may be added during the reaction between titanium compound and adduct in such an amount that the ratio glutarate to Mg is from 1:4 to 1:20.
In a preferred embodiment, the electron donor compound is added during the first treatment with TiCl 4.
Regardless of the preparation method used, the final amount of glutarate in the solid catalyst component should be such that its molar ratio relative to Ti atoms is from 0.01:1 to 2:1, preferably from 0.05:1 to 1.2:1.
The glutarate donor may be added as such during the catalyst preparation or, alternatively, in the form of a precursor which is able to be converted in the compound of formula (I) as a result of reaction with other catalyst components. The solid catalyst component may contain, in addition to glutarates, further donors. Although there is no limitation on the type of additional donor that may be selected from esters, ethers, carbamates, thioesters, amides and ketones.

Characterization of
Porosity and surface area of nitrogen: measured according to the b.e.t. method (device using SORPTOMATIC a 1900 of Carlo Erba).
Porosity and surface area of mercury:
Measurements were made using a "Pascal 240" series porosimeter from Carlo Erba.
The porosity is determined by intrusion of mercury under pressure. For this measurement, a calibrated dilatometer (capillary diameter 3 mm) CD3P (manufactured by Carlo Erba) connected to a mercury reservoir and a high vacuum pump was used. The weighed sample was placed in an dilatometer. The device was then placed under high vacuum (< 0.1mm Hg) and held under these conditions for 20 minutes. The dilatometer is then connected to the mercury reservoir and the mercury is allowed to slowly flow into the mercury reservoir until the mercury reaches a level at the 10em height marked on the dilatometer. The valve connecting the dilatometer to the vacuum pump was closed and then the mercury pressure was gradually increased to 140kg/cm 2 with nitrogen. Under pressure, mercury enters the pores, decreasing according to the porosity level of the material.
Porosity (cm 3/g) (for supports and catalysts obtained from pores of up to 1000nm only, and for polymers of up to 10000 nm) and pore distribution curves were directly calculated from the integral pore distribution curves as a function of the volume reduction of mercury and the applied pressure values (all of these data are provided and elaborated by a porosimeter-related computer equipped with dedicated Pascal software provided by c.erba).
The average pore diameter is determined as a weighted average by a pore distribution curve, and all values obtained by multiplying the relative volume (%) of each pore portion in the range of 0-1000nm of the curve by the average pore radius of the portion and dividing by the sum obtained by 100 are summed.

The whole was heated to 110 ℃ over 58 minutes and these conditions were maintained over 50 minutes. After 10 minutes the stirring was stopped and the temperature was maintained at 110 ℃ to separate the liquid phase from the settled solids. The solid was further treated by adding 500cm 3 TiCl4 and an amount of diethyl 3, 3-di-n-propylglutarate as internal donor to give a Mg/donor molar ratio of 14. The mixture was heated at 110℃for 10min and maintained under stirring conditions (500 rpm) for 30 min. Stirring was then stopped and after 30 minutes the temperature was maintained at 110 ℃ to separate the liquid phase from the settled solids. 500cm 3 TiCl4 was added and the mixture was heated at 110℃for 10 minutes to further treat the solid and the conditions were maintained for 15 minutes under stirring (500 rpm). Stirring was then stopped and after 10 minutes the temperature was maintained at 110 ℃ to separate the liquid phase from the settled solids. Thereafter, washing was performed 5 times with 500cm 3 of anhydrous hexane at 90℃and 1 time with 500cm 3 of anhydrous hexane at room temperature. The solid catalyst component obtained is then dried under vacuum in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 40-45 ℃.
General procedure for propylene polymerization testing
A4 liter steel autoclave equipped with a stirrer, a pressure gauge, a thermometer, a catalyst feed system, a monomer feed line and a constant temperature jacket was used. To the reactor was added 0.01gr of the solid catalyst component, 0.76g of TEAL,0.06g of cyclohexylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3.21 propylene and 2.01 hydrogen. The system was heated to 70 ℃ over 10 minutes with stirring and held under these conditions for 120 minutes. At the end of the polymerization, the polymer is recovered by removing any unreacted monomers and dried under vacuum.
Example 1
530G of MgCl 2 and 14g of water were added with stirring at-8℃in a vessel reactor equipped with an IKA RE166 stirrer containing 963g of anhydrous EtOH. Once the addition of MgCl 2 was complete, the temperature was raised to 108 ℃ and held at this value for 20 hours. Thereafter, while maintaining the temperature at 108 ℃, the melt was fed by a volumetric pump set at 62ml/min to an emulsifying unit operating at 2800rpm together with OB55 oil fed by a volumetric pump set at 225ml/min and an emulsion of the melt into the oil was produced. While continuously feeding the melt and oil, the mixture at about 108 ℃ was continuously discharged into a vessel containing 22 liters of cold hexane, kept under agitation and cooled so that the final temperature did not exceed 12 ℃. After 24 hours, the solid particles of the recovered adduct were then washed with hexane and dried under vacuum at 40 ℃. The composition analysis showed that the particles contained 61.8wt% EtOH,1.15wt% water, the remainder being MgCl 2.
The adduct was then thermally dealcoholated in a fluidized bed under a stream of nitrogen at elevated temperature until the content of EtOH reached a chemical composition of 57.3wt%EtOH 1.2wt%H 2 O, the total porosity obtained from pores up to 1000nm being 0.18cm 3/g, the fraction of porosity obtained from pores up to 100nm accounting for 47.1% of the total porosity.
The sample of the dealcoholated adduct was then used to prepare a catalyst component characterized by containing 16wt% mg,1.8wt% ti,1.1wt% bi,10wt% glutarate, a total porosity from pores up to 1000nm of 0.273cm 3/g, a fraction of porosity from pores up to 100nm in radius accounting for 66.6% of the total porosity, according to the general procedure reported previously.
The catalyst thus obtained was then used in polymerization tests carried out according to the procedure described above. The results are reported in table 1.
Comparative example 1
The same procedure as disclosed in example 1 was used, except that diisobutyl phthalate was used instead of 3, 3-di-n-propyl glutarate in the preparation of the solid catalyst component. The latter is characterized by containing 17.5wt% Mg,1.4wt% Ti,2.7wt% Bi,8.5wt% phthalate.
The catalyst thus obtained was then used in polymerization tests carried out according to the procedure described above. The results are reported in table 1.
Example 2
The adduct prepared in example 1 containing 57.3wt% EtOH and 1.2wt% water was thermally dealcoholated in a fluidized bed in a nitrogen stream at elevated temperature until the EtOH content reached a chemical composition of 50wt% EtOH, 1.2wt% H 2 O, the total porosity resulting from pores up to 1000nm being 0.35cm 3/g and the fraction of porosity resulting from pores up to 100nm accounting for 29.1% of the total porosity.
The sample of the dealcoholated adduct was then used to prepare a catalyst component characterized by containing 16wt% mg,1.7wt% ti,1.1wt% bi,7.9wt% glutarate, a total porosity from pores up to 1000nm of 0.517cm 3/g, a fraction of porosity from pores up to 100nm in radius accounting for 60.2% of the total porosity, according to the general procedure reported previously.
The catalyst thus obtained was then used in polymerization tests carried out according to the procedure described above. The results are reported in table 1.
Comparative example 2
The initial amount of MgCl 2·2.8C2H5 OH adduct was prepared according to the method described in example 2 of PCT publication No. WO98/44009, but operated on a larger scale.
The adduct was then thermally dealcoholated under a stream of nitrogen at elevated temperature until the EtOH content reached a chemical composition of 49.8wt% EtOH and 1.3wt% water.
The sample of the dealcoholated adduct was then used to prepare a catalyst component characterized as containing 15.5wt% mg,1.5wt% ti,0.9wt% bi,9.1wt% glutarate, 0.545cm 3/g of total porosity from pores up to 1000nm, the fraction of porosity from pores up to 100nm radius accounting for 46.6% of the total porosity, according to the general procedure reported previously.
The catalyst thus obtained was then used in polymerization tests carried out according to the procedure described above. The results are reported in table 1.
